Nicole Arcobaleni

About Nicole

I am a New York based registered dietitian who has been providing nutrition care for the past five years. My interest in nutrition started in high school and has only grown as I've had the privilege to see how food can improve and transform people's lives throughout my career. I have worked in the hospital, in a mental health program, and most recently in primary care, helping adults, adolescents and children with a variety of nutrition related conditions. I am passionate about simplifying nutrition recommendations while still making sure they are based in extensive research, and tailoring advice to make it accessible for everybody. While I have expansive experience with a variety of conditions, I am especially apt at diabetes/prediabetes management, PCOS care, and weight management (gain, loss, GLP1, pre/post bariatric surgery). I believe with the right guidance, anyone can make impactful healthy changes and maintain them for a lifetime. I am excited to help make that happen for you!

Approach to care

I would describe my approach as flexible, realistic, and judgement free. I understand each person has unique circumstances, preferences, and valid barriers to meeting their health goals, and therefore each person requires an individualized solution that needs constant tweaks and changes. I know that health and weight loss are not exclusively linked, and that every body, regardless of size, can be healthy. I pride myself on making people feel truly heard and understood, as food is very personal. What I love most about being a dietitian is each circumstance is a puzzle! I will always work to come up with new and creative solutions for you, and as long as you remain committed to making a change, I will remain committed to finding new and inventive ways to help. I will provide you with evidence based, realistic recommendations, and empower you to make the choice that is best, as you know your body best!

Your first session with Nicole

In our first session, we will spend a good amount of time getting to know you; your needs, motivations, challenges, and goals. I will ask questions about your lifestyle, your medical history, as well as your current diet and exercise habits. I will listen carefully and empathetically and together we will come up with a plan that best suits your individual needs. Finally, we will collaboratively come up with short and long term goals to get you started on your journey of healing through food!

Hobbies

I love to be active! These days I am mostly a (slow) runner, but I also weightlift, dance, roller skate, and take long walks with my seven month old puppy! I love to eat and can often be found cooking a new recipe I found online or out at a restaurant exploring a new culture through food! I am mostly a homebody and love to curl up on the couch and watch terrible reality TV or play video games with my partner.
